Keep going![/QUOTE] Yeah it's been kind of disappointing that most of the people who have been showing their work haven't really tried to think outside the box
Before I continue, what is it people don't like about mine? Kinda important to know :) [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52732348/facepunch/index.html[/url]
it's not very pretty
I understood that :p but why? What have I done wrong? Is it the whole thing that doesn't fit together or is it not "forum enough"? Shall I restart with a a new idea?

You need to work on the header a lot more, think of a better colour scheme and pick a better font.

(i'm at 1280x800 - chrome 24.0.1297.0 dev-m) [t]http://i.imgur.com/zRxTg.png[/t] you might need to work on adding a little color in some areas, and adding more contrast in others.
also don't write (c) use © lol
<Snip> Not needed here :P
Thanks guys. I'll try to improve my current site then :) [QUOTE=HeroicPillow;38110502]some quick thoughts.

It's an effect I accidentally made in my PS template, but I thought it was cool. Was shit hard to implement tough. What do you guys think about it? And the white space is because the user name and options is misplaced on small monitors. There is still much white space on bigger monitors tough. Gonna use it somehow. Thanks again!

Kinda important to know :) [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52732348/facepunch/index.html[/url][/QUOTE] Being honest here; The font choice is awful, as I said before you really don't want to use a font like that because it's not very nice to look at imo. It seems like you've taken the existing design, made it black and white, removed the images and taken small themes from the [url=http://cl.ly/image/022d3U192t19]old Facepunch design[/url] and included some very odd spacing on the header. The design itself is not that bad, you could easily change a few things over and make it a little bit nicer but remember colors are your friend. Also try and deviate a little from what Facepunch already looks like layout wise, I'd really like to see more creative takes on a forum layout
[QUOTE=Aurora93;38109328][img]http://i.imgur.com/We0xy.png[/img] shit i'm not going to continue this[/QUOTE] That's looking really great, please continue. If you don't have time find someone to work with I really would like to see the end result.
I was going to change the font, I just arrived at my main computer :) And I wasn't copying anything, I made it all from scratch without even knowing facepunch looked like that before (Can't remember facepunch looked like that O.o). And ya. I need to do something unique.
[img]http://puu.sh/1gIrX[/img] Not sure where im going with this, trying to do something different than the standard forum layout
I think the menu can be the biggest improvement... You most definitively want the forums and subforums instantly visible on the main page. Was messing around with having just the forums show and when you click/hover them the subforums showing up. But it would just be annoying not to be able to reach the places you go to quickly. And you can only do so much with a list.
[QUOTE=Exclusive;38110590]Just quickly came up with this. What do you guys think thus far? Icons coming for 'Ticker', 'Event Log' and what not soon. So, thoughts? Too dark??? [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img20/2448/facepunchredesign.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Why so funny for? Way too much grey huh?
Waaaaaayyy to dark.
Ohh, and if you are following the links to my re-design, the website changes all the time, as it is hosted on dropbox and I save directly to my dropbox folder :v:
Oh also <snip> no longer needed.
Is the screenshot vertically stretched or is it actually like that?
For some reason, it stretched its self :P [editline]20th October 2012[/editline] Some of the white space at the bottom will be filled in later. Just it randomly stretched a little.

[QUOTE=Spero78;38111399][img]http://puu.sh/1gJjk[/img] Thoughts? Suggestions?[/QUOTE] I quite like your approach. I just think the 'Facepunch' header needs a different font. Thats just me personally.
Looks like you had a similar idea to me [t]http://i.imgur.com/wa1tz.png[/t]

[QUOTE=Spero78;38111433]That's the "official" font [url]http://www.facepunchstudios.com/[/url] [/QUOTE] Oh, right, I see. Haha. I'm just going to stop, I'm no good lol.

Not going to bother converting to html/css because it will be a bitch to do and won't get implemented.

Love how it looks otherwise.[/QUOTE] I was going to come up with some sort of sub-forum/topic subscription thing so you could quickly get to your favorites, however it would only require 1 more click than the current layout and there wouldn't be a jump between page loads it would be ajax (or thats the idea)
